Residential House Survey in South West England Using Drone Technology: Private Buyer Case Study

Residential surveys are a significant investment, but the right expertise can save clients from hidden costs and risks. With over 30 years’ local experience, we combine technical knowledge with new tools, including drone technology, to deliver surveys that go beyond the ordinary. 

For one 1940s house, we identified reinforced concrete upper floors showing signs of structural issues — a detail with major cost and resale implications. On another property, a drone inspection revealed an open chimney that was invisible from the ground. For a period cottage with no rear access, the drone allowed us to confirm the roof and chimney condition without caveats. 

By combining experience with innovation, we give clients the confidence to proceed with their purchases fully informed, reducing unexpected costs and long-term risks.
